Sweetness

We have been keeping a little secret....

A few people know about these sweet little things that we met a few months ago and they have taken our hearts. They are truly sweet babies. They had an opportunity to stay with us for a whole day since we did not have anything planned and their foster parent needed a day to get some things done. She asked me to take pictures of them as well while they were with us and she left us outfits to snap a few in. They have been in care for a little while and we are very close with the parent that has them in care. They are growing and blossoming like little flowers. Yes, it is two of these sweet little things. Twice the love! They have their own individual personalities and they are so observant.

They kept us busy in a good way and we loved every minute of it. They enjoyed exploring our home and had a ball.

We have tried to help out with them whenever we can by going to their home and helping out and seeing how her routine works in her home since she has been doing this for a good while. She is a wonderful resource. The answer to the much asked question is Yes. Yes we are interested in these little ones and we have developed a little relationship with them as well. That is all I am going to say about that right now. We still have guarded hearts with all of this. We know that God will place the right ones into our home.

I have intentionally placed blurry pictures for the obvious reasons.

Thanks Kelly!
Please do keep praying for us and the children that we have been presented with for possible adoption.

These little bundles aren't available yet. However, we are interested if we do not have any placements and they become available. They have touched our hearts in a special way.

Thanks Angela,
I will keep you all posted. These are the sweetest babies. We met them in September and it showed us there are truly some babies out there! We have spent time with them over the past few months and they have grown in our hearts. They will be spending time with us in the future as well since we will be helping out with respite services for them when needed.

To my self: Self, take a deep breath....breath in slowly, exhale slowly......do NOT look at their little selves crawling, looking, searching or the next adventure....do NOT look, do NOT look!!!!!!!

To my Soror: I am praying for you and your Prince-Hubby and may your heart's desire before the LORD be given to you SUDDENLY!

Remember: This is the season of unimagable blessings!

Yes, these little sweet ones will steal your heart!
Definitely take a deep breath and remain calm!
You should see how they look up at my husband and how they giggle. He actually holds both of them and walks around the house talking to them. It is so funny to see. I would say that there is an attachment there because we care about them and have spent a lot of time with them.
However, we do understand the circumstances and risks with all of the children. Until TPR's have been done, it is not something that we emotionally tie ourselves into. We can't allow our emotions to take over. However, we are open and readily waiting on a bold sign from God as to where he is leading us and towards which child or children should we consider a permanent place in our home. This I am sure will be a process.

Praying for the Lord's will and his hand and peace in all of it!

Thanks for praying!
